This spunky new musical by Rae Covey features songs sung by ordinary folks having difficulty finding their way, literally and metaphorically. As one tune puts it: “One wrong turn, and you might as well be anywhere.” Each song was inspired by a real map from a real (and completely fabulous) archive called the Hand Drawn Map Association. Capital City Theatre's production of Where We Are is part of World Premiere Wisconsin. Shows at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 17-18, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19, and 2 p.m. Sept. 20
media release: Capital City Theatre (CCT), Madison's home for professional musical theater, is pleased to announce the world premiere of Where We Are, a new musical presented as part of the World Premiere Wisconsin theater festival.
Forget the GPS. Inspired by the real-life collections of the Hand Drawn Map Association, Where We Are is a vibrant, world-premiere musical about the magnificent mess of thein-between. Audiences will meet an off-beat cast of characters navigating the strange, funny and tender ways we get lost, change course and ultimately find each other.
Opening night is Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 7:30 PM at Promenade Hall at Overture Center. The show runs through Sunday, September 20, 2026. Tickets start at $45.
This production is generously funded by a grant from the Madison Community Foundation’s Great Performance Fund. MCF's support makes it possible for CCT to bring this bold new work to the stage and to further its mission as Madison's home for professional musical theater.
Musicals for All: Pay-What-You-Wish Accessibility Initiative CCT is also introducing Musicals for All, a new accessibility initiative for the Saturday matinee performance of Where We Are. A small block of premium seats will be held aside and made available at the box office on the day of the show, with patrons invited to pay what they wish. The initiative is designed to make live musical theater more accessible to the community as a whole.
The Saturday matinee will also feature a signed performance for the deaf and hard of hearing.
